Changing The Filters 1 Turn Off the ice maker power switch (see the earlier section for more about turning off the ice maker). 2 Push the filter release button to the right of the cartridge to disconnect it. 3 Slide the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it. 4 Unpackage the new filter cartridge and slide it gently into the filter housing until it stops against the snap-in connector at the back of the housing. 5 Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into place. When fully engaged, the front of the filter cartridge should be flush with the filter release button. 6 Turn On the ice maker power switch (see page 23 for more about turning on the ice maker). 7 Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system are normal. 8 After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the system for about three minutes. 9 Press and hold the Filter Status button on the Ice & Water Dispenser control panel for 3 seconds. The light flashes red, amber, and green to indicate the Filter Status has been reset. 25 Storing Food & Saving Energy IDEAS FOR STORING FOODS Fresh Food Storage · Keep the fresh food compartment between 1. 1° C and 4. 4° C with an optimum temperature of 2. 8° C (see the earlier section for more information about temperature settings). · Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling. Fruits and Vegetables · Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods. 26 Storing Food & Saving Energy Meat · Wrap raw meat and poultry securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur. · Use the meat keeper drawer for short term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be frozen. Frozen Food Storage · Keep the freezer compartment at -18° C or lower (see the earlier section for more information about temperature settings). · A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full. Packaging Foods for Freezing · To minimize food dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers. Force as much air out of the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn). · Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing. · Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed. Loading the Freezer · Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads the freezer, slows freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen foods. · Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible. [. . . ] · Push filter in until you hear a "click". · Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply and completely rinse out the tank. · Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet. · For best results, use copper tubing for water connections.
